A small tip

If you need to change a double inlet valve for a Candy smart washer dryer don’t use a universal valve even though you will get it to fit 😡 🙁 , can anyone guess why?? 😥

Restrictor?

Re: A small tip

Yes. for the dryer side of the inlet valve there is a restrictor and there is one where the black pipe goes into the dryer condensor( i think that’s what it’s called?)

If there is no restrictor on the inlet valve and there is good water pressure in the house the black pipe will split where it goes into the condensor 😡 😡

Surely if theres a restrictor in the original valve you would fit the restrictor to the replacement valve? Or buy the genuine valve with the restrictor already in?
You wouldn’t use a valve without a restrictor would you?

Same on the Hoover version. I have tried Connect “alternative” and also swapping the restrictor with consequent hose splits but now will only fit genuine. Ok a bit more expensive but no problems.
